Fundraising

 

To help subside the cost for students going on the trip, we will need to do some fundraising!

Here are our fundraising ideas: (If you have any ideas, PLEASE send them to Frau W and Herr Ernst)

  • Candle Sale

  • Wreath Sale

  • Culver’s Night (Panda Express)

  • Pizza Hut

  • Jackson Coffee

  • Oktoberfest Dinner (hosting at JHS)

  • Open to other ideas… Casino Night, Golf Outing, etc

Outside of these types of fundraising, we will also try and approach businesses in Jackson to donate. We have heard that True Community Credit Union has given money to various organizations at the school. What are some ideas of other businesses?
